I shall go positive I think, as I wouldn't want to steal the first negative post that Vir will most definately want

Positive. I'm feeling much better from the ghastly flu I've suffered from in the past week and a half, maybe two weeks, and each day I feel better, so I'm looking forward to waking up tomorrow morning and having this cough deteriorate

Not exactly today, but in my thoughts right now...

I found an eight week old kitten on my way to work on new years eve - heard something crying and found it covered in oil and other nasty stuff and hiding in a drain in an industrial area. With the help of another girl off the bus I caught it. Black and white with grey/green eyes, extremely skinny with a purr that should belong to a much larger cat. I carried it the twenty minutes down the street where both turn off to go to different companies, it didn't even try to get away. Then after a bit of discussion she took it to work with her (she works at a cat food company, so a bit more useful than my work for a kitten) No one ever claimed it - so she found a home for it. I'm waiting to hear what his name is.

That kitten has made my life better for this year, makes me smile everytime I think of it.

It is a happy day today. The computer expert was here today and he was able to retrieve a hard copy of a stock spreadsheet from my old computer before it crashed once again.

I needed that spreadsheet to determine how much capital gains tax I will owe next year that needs to be paid this year (probably this quarter), as I won't be reinvesting in a comparable stock, because I don't trust the market now. I wouldn't have sold this stock, in fact I didn't: it was bought out from under me by a consortium of Canadian and Australians who took the utility private. I did make money on the deal, I just would rather have held it for the duration.

The computer expert took the old CPU to his shop to see if he can diagnose the problem and possibly refurbish it for my grandson's use.

Well I am terribly happy to be alive. Like Loss I suffered a horrible, frightening virus and I was not allowed antibiotics because I already had them during the flood in our house due to the infection I got from the mold. And I was not allowed to have any antihistamines. I cannot even remember about a week. I struggled to breathe, I was so weak I could not walk and it just seemed to get worse and worse, until yesterday.

Today I feel very weak but am getting about nicely and oh the world is so beautiful and it is glorious to be alive .

Poor Loss, feel well, take the best care of yourself.

Ah Vir, if it would not make you gag, throw yourself upon the floor in a fit of ..of..well I don't know what.. I should give you a hug and an Elven kiss on the forehead. You poor poor dear.

The only bright spot i see in my future is that we will finally be done with these dreaded TAKS tests (Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills; which are standardized test that every student in the state takes...) at the end of the week and I can actually be through with studying and hours of tests...

Positive. Today before I went to school I checked the weather and saw we were going to get thunderstorms. So I dressed in swim trunks, a nylon athletic shirt, flip flops and carried the one book I needed in a small plastic bag. I looked like an imbecile for my first class, but then it started pouring sheets of rain for four hours and even people with umbrellas got soaked running from class to class on campus. Meanwhile I simply strolled along and watched.

Also i got an A on a test in a physics class I never attend and had no idea how to do the problems. God, I love multiple choice tests.

I'm + today because this is the first week in about... 24 weeks? ... that I have stayed within my budget! €€€€!
That means I can go to the Black Horse Pub (Barcelona's version of the Prancing Pony) this weekend and celebrate properly!

Oh, also, I rejoined PT today, which is a positive thing. I'm Anilorak2.0, not only because I can't remember my old password, but also because I was overdue for an upgrade

I am positive, because we had a half-day of free time at school! I got to witness a teacher vs student basketball game (teachers won 42-40...) in which our baseball coach was playing. He looked so funny out there, you should have seen it! Best day of this year!

I'm happy today: the sun is finally shining again—this has been the wettest May since records have been kept here (for only about 150 years)—and the forecast for this weekend is with few clouds and temperatures in the low 70s°F.

I'm positive today even though I didn't get much sleep last night and am pretty tired. I got a sewing project done this week and on it's way to Australia and did some actual work on the sewing book I am attempting to write.

We are having a fantastically beautiful and green spring here in Colorado, too. The wildflowers are just lovely!

I've done quite a bit of counted cross-stitch and crewel work after I learned Roosevelt "Rosey" Grier did needlepoint. Rosey was one of the LA Rams' Fearsome Foursome American football players back in the sixties. He was guarding Ethel Kennedy when her husband Robert F. Kennedy was shot in 1968 and he wrested away the gun from the assassin, Sirhan Sirhan. I saw it on TV as it happened, my wife and I moved our TV in the bedroom and were watching the wrap up of the California Presidential Primary election.

Anyway, after that sad digression, I have a bunch of counted cross-stitch pictures hanging on my walls. My sister wants the one I did with ivy and various butterflies surrounding the words, 'Nature is the visible garment of God.' I've told her I'll will it to her.

I'm happy today, the Mariners are leading the Twins (baseball) and our local Puma football club has a record of 5-0-2 putting them currently in first place in the United Soccer League PDL Northwest Division and they are heading into Tuesday's U.S. Open Cup match against Portland of USL Division I.

Quite positive at the mo, my second week at my new job and so far so good. Really noticing the difference between being a worker and being a manager. Not just in the work load but I must have unconsciously made an adjustment in my work ethic (which has always been good) I don't seem to be as worried about having a full hour for lunch or working a little bit longer at night to get a job finished.
Oh, and I finally got a new Aquarium after 6 years, so I'm feeling quite chuffed these days.

I am feeling positive today. the fires rage on, we have only had a tiny amount of rain twice in three months and the air is still full of smoke.
But I have not become ill from the smoke as before and that is wonderful. I noticed last night the air seemed cooler, it was like a miracle and I felt so peaceful.
So I am grateful for life, for the privelege of walking, talking , breathing and writing down thought. Life is wondeful .
